Abstract
The article discusses the possibilities of coordinate-determining technology using high-precision geodetic instruments for alignment of reflecting surface shape of the radio telescope main mirror. It’s important for adjustment of reflecting surface shape and consequently performance of radio astronomy observations. The article provides general information about radio telescopes and consideres the existing classical geodesic and non-geodesic methods used in the process of solving the problem of shape alignment. The text describes the method of geodetic work on the form alignment using high-precision laser trackers. The methodology includes several stages from designing the geodetic control network and tracker location stations and processing and interpreting the measurement results. The conditions for performing high-precision measurements are given in the thesis. Mathematical processing of measurement results is performed in the Spatial Analyzer and based on coordinate systems transformation.
